I have seen some mentions of the "Beast" in various threads. I'll look into it, Nitro. I played the modded head and combo in the MM both at the Amp Show and they did really kick ass. Their modded Champ 600 was pretty cool, too. But after dicking with PC board and trace cuts, etc I think I'll stay away from that shit and stick with PTP stuff. I thnk Epi is throwing a curve as well as the version 3 PCB has a very dark solder mask on it making it very difficult to see the circuit. I am bummed that I blew the $$$ on the MM kit thinking that the instructions would be as detailed or as supported as Metro. I've been spoiled! I do have the tubes glowing but I still can't an sound out. Before I trash it and install a PTP I am on a "Fuck you, Jo-boo" mission to make it work.NitroLiq wrote:Chief, it's because months and months ago, over at 18w, someone modded a VJ, then all of a sudden every newbie known to man discovered they could buy a cheap amp and mod it into a slightly better, little less crappier amp. VJ threads took over 18w as did "know-it-all" attitudes from said newbs...sewatt and all the other sites were created as a result and have alot of the same people. Personally, I think these VJ mods sound like "ass" but to each their own. You'd be better off building Richie Hall's "Beast" which is a modded higher gain Fender Champ.

I must admit, I have strayed from the Metro board. I went for the MM Epi Valve Jr upgrade, have problems with it and the "support" on the sewatt forum website PALES in comparison to Metros.
Jus' you remember... next time, its gonna be 'DIS... (hand in the shape of a pistol). Now lets go to Paisano's an' get some cappuccino, and do like JimiJames from the Chicago family said... fugettaboutit... its OVER, Mike... jus' fugettaboutit...NY Chief wrote:Forgive me Godfadda.

This is one of the best sites for amp building no matter what amp. Sure theres other sites with a lot of expertise with other amps but a lot of pedantic bullshit too. Many people here have built more then just marshalls.fillmore nyc wrote:(In best hoarse "Godfather" voice) "You have left this "thing" we have, and shown your loyalty to another family... you have strayed from The Board... this is something that can never be forgotten... by the graces of Don Metropoulos (NY Chief wrote:Welcome!

If this most grievous offense comes to our attention again, you know what must happen... you'll be sleeping with the fish, capisce"?
